Donna here with my turn for Pick of the Week, sharing a new organization system I put together in minimal time that makes my card making much easier and quicker. I had bits and pieces cut out for card making all over the place but not many full size cards pieces so decide a tote with precut white card pieces would be handy. This is what I came up with:
I have sections for:
- Scraps
- 3 3/4″ by 5″ card layers
- 4″ by 5 1/4 ” card layers
- Scored cards
- Embossed card fronts
- Glossy 4 by 5 1/4 ” for layers
- Card fronts (colored die cuts I had) - one exception to the whites
- Card bases: A2 Scored, horizontal and vertical cut
- Card layers, horizontal and vertical cut unscored- 4 1/4 ” 11″ and 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″- this is my favorite.
I used a container I had at home, my dividers are 5 1/2″ by 6″, I made the tabs with my envelope board, they could also be hand cut.
To give you an idea on the scrap section, I save sizes from little strips (for greetings) to almost card front sizes:
This picture shows the entire basket:
I picked 4 cards from the past year to share with you that used my favorite stamps:
6104-J, Birthday Vertical My absolute most used stamp, I keep it on a block all the time, it is cut in half on this card. Paired with 2411-K, Pelican’s Piling and 3412-C, Gulls in Flight in the first card.
2008-K, Shepherd Boy - He makes a beautiful card.
4313-K, Sunflower and 8614-D, Find beauty Everyone likes sunflowers they just brighten a day, and this saying is fabulous. Remember you have a week to order these stamps for 20% off.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Being organized certainly makes creating more fun (at least for me!) I have two bins of scrap paper — one solid card stock and one designer paper — all separated according to color!
Love the pretty cards you shared here today — such great designs!
Love your organization plan, Donna. Looks so effective and easy to find those little pieces you often need to finish a card. Great idea, also, to use the punch board to create the tabs. Love that sunflower card…one of my favorite stamps.
Wow, you have a lot of white scraps! And a great way to organize them! I guess I probably have a ton of white scraps, too, maybe I should try this.
Thank you so much for sharing. I keep all my white scraps in a plastic bag and it’s always a chore to get the right piece. I will be creating your idea for my vanilla and black too. I’m so glad I have the envelope board to do the tabs.
